Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hiya!…..been using Mrs Jones sponge recipe for 10″ and 8″ deep sponge with great success……can’t count for toffee!….anyone got a recipe for a 6″ deep sponge…..many thanks in advance

Hello Mrscloudy1

You can change the recipe here http://www.cakeflix.com/blog/how-to-work-out-what-size-cake-tin-to-use
Both the ready reckoner and the cakeometre are easy to use and any recipe can be changed. I believe you followed a recipe conversion by Scarlet, if you are happy with it just enter your ingredients for a 6″ cake and you’ll have the amount you need.

Thanks madewith love…….managed to scale the recipe down…….but eggs tho?…….if the 10 inch deep recipe from Mrs Jones calls for 10…… How many for the 6″ ones?………x

Hello Mrscloudy1

If you’re using Mrs Jones’ recipe from the tutorial use 4 eggs for 6″ cake 4″ deep cake. The eggs actually work out as 3.6 If you’re using a 3″ deep tin use 3 eggs.

Brilliant!…..and last but not least!…..honest….according to the scaling tool ready reckoner, , I have been using the wrong quantities for the 8″ cake……so going to do it in the morning as per the reckoner….do I need 8 eggs for this?….promise I will go away soon! X

Hi Mrscloudy1

You’ll need 6 eggs if calculating from the ready reckoner. However Scarlett posted an 8 egg recipe for you here http://www.cakeflix.com/questions/foolproof-sponge-recipe which I believe worked well for you. Scarlett’s recipe has not been calculated using the RR so her amounts will be different.
